Krampus

In Austria and Hungary, there is a legend that keeps kids good all year long. In the spirit of Christmas, I thought I would give you one more reason to be good this year. In this legend, Santa Claus gives presents to good boys and girls on Christmas Eve, while his demonic counterpart deals out the punishment. His name is Krampus.

He gets his name from the old German word for "claw." In Austria, St. Nicholas is helped by this demon on Christmas Eve. They are even travel buddies. Not only is his name an inspiration for year long nightmares for children, but he looks it as well. He has a red face with goat horns atop his head and shaggy black fur all over. He carries chains and rings a large cowbell. He has a long crimson tongue, a tail, and he totes around a big stick and huge black bag.

Hairy Arms

A young woman was shopping on Halloween for some candy to hand out to the kids in her neighborhood. She had just finished shopping and was carrying her things to her car.

Just as she finished putting her bags in the trunk, an old woman carrying a bag walked up to her and said, "Excuse me, but I missed my bus. I have been walking all day and my feet hurt. Would you mind giving me a ride, deary?"

Turkey Comics

Since I did a ghost theme for Halloween, I will now do turkey comics for Thanksgiving. Enjoy.

Turkey Myths

It is  November, which means golden turkeys, over eating, and desserts to die for. A time to go over the hill and through the wood to grandma's house. A day to put your diet aside and wear stretchy pantsfor more room in your stomach. The month women call "No Shave November" then regret that decision in December.

But the turkey! Soft, warm, juicey. Then the food coma and leftovers. What do we really know about this bird? And is it true? Here are some common myths that have been debunked.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving. A day of good food, family, and... misconception?

Believe it or not, the Thanksgiving story we all learned is as fake as George Washington's wooden teeth. Was turkey actually served? Did the Native American people really come with good intentions? And was it actually called "Thanksgiving"?

Ghostly Comics

I was surfing the web so that I could post something, but it was late and already dark. Yeah, spooky stuff gives me nightmares. My room faces a street light so that I have a night light every night. I am not ashamed to have nyctophobia (fear of the dark)! As long as I have light, I will survive!

Anyway, I found some funny stuff. Here you go!

New Year Massacre

On December 31st, a family was preparing for their annual New Years Eve Party. The father was in the lounge ironing clothes, the mother was in the kitchen cutting sausage and cabbage, and their son was running around with scissors and getting in everyone's way.

Suddenly, the boy ran into his mother. The scissors cut the back of her leg. The mother fell backwards and lost her grip on the knife. The boy was right beneath her. The knife fell into his chest and pierced his heart.He died instantly. The mother screamed.
